Looks neat, you've sat the gearbox back quite far as you've got a lot of room between the engine and slam panel, I ended up mounting my radiator under the slam panel but used a clio DCI rad.

Well finally got here plumbed in. had a week of making brackets, mounts and sorting out all the fiddly bits (Power steering was a bitch to squeeze in!).
Surprising how long it all takes and how many bits there are to consider and modify. Fabricated an exhaust and got here running. sounds sweet! nice and Diesel'ly!
